OP , fantastic post and well presented , I was checking NICT daily too until it "shut down" , was wondering if the magnetic field disturbances correlated with solar activity and was frequently checking SpaceWeather.com too , seems like there is a gravitational pull somewhere "out there" that is upsetting the apple cart , I do have my own theory but its your post and I m not going to jump in and start putting my ideas forward.

Anyway its Easter Sunday and I ve got a 10 year old who will scoff all his eggs and then feel sick if I don't get off this computer and assert some mummy authority.

(Oh and I have to agree with the other ladies on the Facebook pic , very nice !!!!)

Question. If this happens every year at this same time, when the earth is in this particular area of it's orbit, then what 'direction' is it facing? As in, what particular area of the solar system or the galaxy is it aligning with during this time, that it isn't the rest of the year? What lies in 'that direction'?

Does that make sense? lol

There are many orbit simulations out there you can study on if you wish, what exactly you are trying to figure out I don't know.

* "Spring is fireball season, says Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Center. For reasons we don't fully understand".* "Researchers who study Earth's meteoroid environment have never come up with a satisfactory explanation for the extra fireballs. In fact, the more they think about it, the stranger it gets.* "Autumn is the season for sporadic meteors," says Cooke. "So why are the sporadic fireballs peaking in spring? That is the mystery."

I think something much deeper down Pandoras box is going on, I doubt an answer will come from something as an orbit simulation showing galaxy's, constellations etc.

Why do I think that? Because NASA is saying it's a "mystery" and they "don't understand" and even for me I can't prove any source to you.Something much more odd is going on as it why all this is occurring.

Thanks for the reply, just curious, that's all.

I'm not familiar with solar system/galactic positions during the orbit, so, just trying to get a visual of 'where' we are every year that this is going on, in relation to the rest of the galaxy or universe.

Something does come to mind though (and I'm not meaning nibiru), but it probably would sound stupid, so I'll just keep it to myself.

out with it.... others may have the missing pieces....together we can complete the picture.

All can be explained by magnetic reconnection and gravity gradients. Fireball and aurora seasons occur around the equinoxes. Magnetic reconnection between the Sun and Earth is strongest at this time. The center of the Sun is aligned with the Earth's equator at this time, likely perturbing any debris or space junk in orbit around the Earth. Simple really and no conspiracy. Occam's Razor is your friend.

Thanks Bending Light. Great work as usual. Ill follow this thread. No criticism here, but I was hopeful you'd expand more your theory of why or what was on this side of space to make our magnetic field have such a predictable anomaly? Is the anomaly getting worse/increasing strength each year? Is the anomaly side from wherever some claim planet X is coming in from? What size object would it take to disrupt our mag. this much? How close? Approaching at what velocity our solar system?

If this is what you're implying.

Or 2.

As we have progressed around the outer limb of the galactic plane on our 226 million year orbit around our galactic center--is there something in this quadrant of space which causes the predictable anomaly?

Or is there a 3?

Or a 4?

If there are other possible solutions? Theorize the top 3 most likely ones?

"The frequency at which fireballs appear varies in several ways. First of all there is a distinct increase of brighter meteors within some showers (see below). Then, there is a seasonal variation: around the time of the vernal equinox, fireball rates are about three times the rates seen around the autumnal equinox in the northern hemisphere. This ratio was derived by Halliday and Griffin (1982) for meteorite falls; it was proven by Rendtel and Knöfel (1989) for visual and photographic fireballs." [link to www.imo.net]

Bending Light, you should research your subject better before making such wild claims. I guess you were never interested in such subjects until recently hence you did not know about seasonal variations and had to rely only google.

you say... "Fireball season, occur around equinoxes"

NASA says:"Autumn is the season for sporadic meteors," says Cooke. "So why are the sporadic fireballs peaking in spring? That is the mystery."

Great work OP!! Thanks...My dog lost control of his rear legs early morning of the 6th...vet could find NOTHING wrong with him and was fine next day...but just a bit off this morning...Plenty of wild animals dying out here in LA too...I havent felt right for awhile either...Makes one wonder...

Train of thoughts.So earths magnetosphere is like a shield and wrapping armor at same time.The more normal magnosphere is, the calmer and safer earth is.The wilder it becomes, the more dangerous and weak earth is.Thinning magnosphere loosens tightness of earth land thus earth quake follows consequesntly.Thinning magnosphere makes all sizes of rocks penetrate earth sphere with lesser opposite forceInterestingly, this magnosphere disturbances accurately happens at same orbital position. Lets name it then spot xIncrease firball graph showed a single trend from 2005 to 2009 and suddenly continouosly peeked from 2010 to 2012. Keep in mind that spot x does not change.However, i cant help but think of the brown dwarf and oort cloud since those are the nearest unknowns of solar system.Just a what if though, what if spot x is Point +-0 of objects in y-axis and x-axis? And earth is one of the axes? And the other object/s is getting nearer which created magno disturbance fluctuations? I cant think of other ideas thats why i rely for now on what ifs. Add up if you have.

I didn't speculate on a source during the thread nor am I going to now.I stick to data and what I can prove based on data.. I believe this thread proved very well how something incredibly abnormal is ongoing and with that I am content.

This attitude is much appreciated and makes your thread all the more important.

Increases in meteors, fireballs, as well as magnetic field anomalies are on the rise the past few years, as well as increases in temperatures, which have broke all records for the past 100 years, so stop shilling here and go back to college studies, Mr. Ignoramushill
